ProArts Playhouse in Kīhei will open its holiday production of “The Reluctant Elf” on Dec. 5, with performances running select days through Dec. 14 at its theater in Azeka Plaza.

ProArts Playhouse will stage “Spring Awakening,” a Tony Award-winning musical 7:30 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays and 2 p.m. Sundays from July 27 through Aug. 17 at the Azeka Shopping Center (makai side), 1280 South Kīhei Road.
